BANNOCK DELEGATION
BOISE.—Two important bills were
introduced into the senate by Senator
Nelson of Kootenai this morning. The
first extends the right of eminent
domain. It protects the holders of
timber. They can have condemned a
right of way through the timber in
order to get their logs to market.
The second provides for the private
improvement of border channels,
booms, and dams, and for charging
toll for logs sent over these. The
charge is limited to fifty cents for a
thousand feet over fifty miles. .
Two county division bills were in
troduced into the house. One creates
Clark county from Fremont, with
Dubois as the county seat. There was
n0 mu ight *u Ve . r ~ f . I
The other created Caribou fiom
»Bannock, with Soda Springs as the
county seat. There is bitter opposi
tion to this on the part of the Ban
nock county delegation, as the division
takes away thirty townships from
Bannock county Soda Springs is 65,
ml is s from P°c ate llo. ; 1
There was a reconsideration in the ;
house of the stamp allowance of ten
dollars for each member A parha
mentary debate of more than one hour
ensued. Moody was extremely sar
f. astlc ° ve T , the waste of , th f , st ^ e ®
time, which he says amounted to $180
expense.
Committee appointments in the
house were announced.
TELEPHONE FUND
MAY BE DONATED
SUM OF $145 MAY BE GIVEN BY
DONORS TO AUGMENT AR
MENIAN RELIEF
Several weeks ago when there was
some prospect that the fight to raise
the telephone rates in Moscow would
be taken to the courts, an assessment
of two dollars each was levied on
seventy-five business men to dis
charge the costs of such litigation
Only five dollars of the $150 was ex
pended because the whole matter was
summarily dropped by the manager
of the company.
Some of those who contributed to
this fund suggest that the balance of
$145 be turned over to the chairman
of the Armenian and Syrian relief
committee to help swell the amount
raised toward Moscow's quota. It is
said that steps will be taken at once
to secure the consent of those who
contributed the money to dispose of
the balance in this way.

No one ever accused a legislator
of seeking extra work to do, but many
of them do not realize what an enor

these important bodies. Then again
most of them feel there is much power

Registration for the winter quarter
at the university has been greatly de
layed by influenza, according to state
ments made by instructors and of
ficers of the institution. The total
number of students enrolled for this
quarter is 389. This number is far
short of the actual total when the
registration is complete. When all
students have registered, the number
will approximate 460. Of the present
registration, 162, or nearly half are
girls. Twenty-one new students have
registered this quarter, thirteen of
whom are girls.
The registration in the college of
letters and science greatly exceeds
that of any other college. The num
ber totals 255 at the present. This
includes all students in home econ
omics, all pre-medic and pre-legal stu
dents, as well as other science and
art students.

covers a period of twelve weeks,

Dr. F. L. Barrows, who has been

the care of a large number of wounded
soldiers who came over on the boat
with him. Dr. Barrows is at the

has applied for h!is discharge and
hopes to obtain it soon. He is anxious
to get back to Moscow, where he en
joyed a very large practice as an
eye, ear, nose and throat specialist.
It is inferred from Dr. Barrows's
letter that he has been recently at
Le Mons in France, and that he cross

LIBERTY SHOP
ASKS FOR GOODS
MERCHANTS ARE INVITED TO
DONATE GOODS FROM THEIR
STOCKS
It has been suggested by the com
mittee In charge of the Red Cross lib-1
erty shop that now, while merchants
are taking their invoices, they may
very likely find articles of wearing ap
parel which they will be glad to set
aside as a donation to the stock of
this very useful philanthropic enter
prise. Some of the store-keepers have
been extremely generous in the past in
sending over good clothing that found
a ready sale. Notable among these
has been Mr. J. F. Stewart of the Fash
ion Shop whose contributions have
brought many a dollar into the treas
ury.
The clerks at the Liberty shop hope
that other merchants will folow this
splendid example and will tomorrow
morning send a generous supply of
clothing and merchandise of all kinds
to be sold at reasonable prices for the
benefit of the Moscow chapter of the
Red Cross.

FOR CHURCH UNIFY
WEEK OF JAN. 18-25 DESIGNATED
FOR NATION-WIDE EFFORT
FOR CHRISTIAN REUNION
That their be a nation-wide ef
fort for Christian reunion, the week
of January 18-26 has been designated
as a season in which to strive for
church unity. Bishop Page has sent
to the Rev. W. H. Bridge of St. Mark's
Episcopal church the following notice
relative to the plans of the church.
"A call has gone out from our com
mission on world conference on faith
and order, requesting the observance
of the octave Jan. 18th to 25th, 1919,
as a season of prayer for Christian
reunion. I hope you will find it pos
sible to observe this week, and get
your people to do so. I am enclosing
you copies of a little pamphlet issued
by Dr. Gardiner, secretary of the com
mission, which I am sure you will find
valuable.
"I do not believe I am going too
far when I express my conviction that
thè greatest need of our church people
is the habit of prayer. Whatever re
ligion means is bound up in prayer.
It is our relation to God that distin
guishes us from those who believe in
good works without religion. There
is only one thing that will ever bring
the world to the throne of God, and
that is prayer. Argument will not do
it; good works will not do it. We
must commune with our Heavenl
Father if we would truly know an
really believe in Him, and therefore
conscientiously serve Him.
Nor can there be any more im
portant subject for prayer than
how much longer we can continue
disunited and be a strong effectual
force in the wori-i. In our war work
we have seen the churches outstripped
by many other organizations,
not doubt that some of you have come
to feel that in the communities where
you live nothing has counted much
less in the prosecution of the war
than the church. In many of our best
communities the influence of the
church upon community life is pa
thetically weak, wheréas, if duly or
ganized it would be the strongest of
all influences. We may be profuse
with our explanations, but as long as
present conditions continue, those
who have the practical work of the
world to do are likely to pass the
church by as unconsequential.
"As most of you know, I had the
interesting experience of spending
five weeks this past summer at Camp
Lewis. It was positively appalling to
see how little organized religion
seemed to mean to tue great mass of
splendid men who entered the army
from the northwest. There are many
reasons for this, but one of the most
potent is doubtless the fact that our
divided Christianity presents a sorry
and pathetic spectacle in most of the
jbommunities from which our boys
came. Brethern, let us pray with all
our souls for a better day.
"Faithfully yours,
"HERMAN PAGE."

A petition was filed today with the
clerk of the board of county com
missioners, asking the creation of a
highway district to be known as the
Genesee highway district in Latah
county. The district is organized to
secure connection with the north and
south state highway at the Nez Perce
county boundary and to provide an
extension of the highway through the
town of Genesee and toward Moscow
for a distance of approximately ten
miles. The highway can then be taken
up by the district adjacent to Moscow
whenever that territory is organized
and the road can be continued into
Moscow. Whenever this is done, the
extension of a highway connecting the
county seats of Nez Perce and Latah
counties will be complete and Moscow
and Lewiston, together with the in
tervening highway will be adequately
served.
The Genesee highway district takes
in the town of Genesee and runs ap
miles north. The boundaries of the
district are laid out with reference to
adequate connection in the future
with the proposed highway construc
tion in the Juliaetta section and other
districts adjacent to the territory now
being organized. Under the law, the
boundaries of the district can be ex
tended in the future and the district
can join with the county or with other
highway districts in the construction
of roads outside xie highway district,
but connecting with and forming
parts of main highways. The pres
ent district is arranged to take in
territory which is ready to proceed
with construction and to provide for
proper co-operation with adjacent ter
ritory in the future.
The Genesee highway district con
tains approximately thirty-five thous
and acres of land and the petition
alleges that the assessed valuation is
two million dollars. On the petition
as filed, appears the signatures of one
hundred and ten electors and land
owners living in the district and it is
alleged in the petition that these are
more than 20 per cent of the electors
resident in the district and voting at
the last election and are the owners
of more then ten per cent of the land.
In commenting upon the plans for
(this district, a prominent farmer of
the Thorn Creek district in Moscow
today, stated that his community was
exceedingly anxious to see this meas
ure go
veyors for the route was completed
about two weeks ago. They have es
tablished a splendid grade on a very
direct route, having surveyed from a
few miles west of Genesee, right up
to the edge of this city. The dis
tance from Genesee to the county seat
will be about 16 miles, if the pro
posed route is followed. The expense
of making this survey was all borne
by a group of farmers anxious to see
the road put through.
"You mâÿ gay for 006," stated the'
farmer from Thorn Creek, "that the
people of my section have always
wanted to work with Moscow in every
enterprise. We are very anxious that
this highway should be run so as to
include Moscow. We do not want the
capital city of the county to be left
out in the cold. I think the merchants
should back us up in our efforts, for
it will certainly be to the interests
of this town to see this highway come
right to it« doors. Practically every
man in my neighborhood and for miles
beyond has signed up for the loca
tion of the highway along the route
reported on. If it is constructed, the
Moscow stores will se a great increase
in trade. There is nothing like a good
road to bring people to
surface of the road -ri
gravel in order to stand the wear and
tear of the heavy machinery that will
be used on it."

ill probably be
representative
from Thorn Creek precinct in the
state legislature, was one of the prime
movers in this enterprise.

MILITARY DEPARTMENT REPORTS
INCREASING AEGI8TRATI0N AND
GREAT ENTHUSIASM
Reorganized and acting in a larger
capacity than before the war, the Uni
versity of Idaho R. O. T. C. is starting
with an impetus that is bound to shove
it to the front for a very successful
year. The military department re
ports an increasing registration, and
is formulating its organization and
plan of attack. It is expected that
three companies will be informed.
The new R. O. T. C., with practically
all men having military experience,
with a number of officers and O. T. C.
men, can enter into more complicated
and Interesting drill, and launch more
extensive operations than previously.
The government will furnish uniforms
to non-commissioned men, with com
mutation of rations to third and fourth
year men, and cadet officers will re
ceive ration pay.
There will be four hours of drill,
with one hour of military science
classes a week. The periods at 11
o'clock on Monday and Friday have
been shifted to Saturday, to allow time
for some of the complicated military*
movements.
